Proctored Exam Information for Students Enrolled in Online Courses

Where would you like to take your exam? If you want to test in Somerset or London, you do not need a specific appointment; you can come in anytime during the hours we are open for testing. If testing at the Somerset Community College Somerset or Laurel Assessment Centers, testing will begin any time after 8:30 a.m. EST. Monday- Friday. Students will need to know how much time they are allotted for the exam and complete and submit the exam before 4:00 p.m. EST.

Proctored Exams are administered on a first come first serve basis. Please note that when the College is closed the Assessment Center is also closed.

You will need to know how much time you are allotted for the exam and come early enough to complete and submit the exam at least 30 minutes before we close at 4:30 p.m. EST.

Some instructors require that you report to them a specific time/day. Go ahead and decide what day/time is convenient for you during our testing hours/day and inform your instructor. We do not make specific appointments due to students often needing to reschedule.

A photo ID is required for testing and you must know your instructor’s name. Children are not permitted in the testing center.

You will need to inform your Instructor/College that you want to take the exam at Somerset Community College. Your instructor will need to post the Proctor information on the Point, a secure proctor site for KCTCS.

For non-KCTCS courses, we have a Proctored Exam fee of $25 for one exam, $18 each for two exams, or $15 each for three or more exams. In order to take advantage of the discounted price of multiple exams, you must pay the full amount on the first day of testing.

Proctored Exam Tips

If you are not near Somerset or London, you can schedule an exam at a different KCTCS college.

Upon arriving at the proctor site, present a picture ID (such as a student ID or current driver's license) for identification; otherwise, you will not be permitted to take the exam.

It is the student's responsibility to bring all materials necessary to complete the exam, provided they meet with the instructor's guidelines.

There are no costs associated with proctored exams for SCC/KCTCS courses; there is a fee associated with proctoring exams for other colleges and universities.
